Live Mealworms (Medium) 1000 Pack

We suggest adding 1-2 HEAT PACKS or ICE PACKS to your order to help ensure live delivery (depending on the weather). See full guarantee below.*

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Remove mealworms from the mesh bag and transfer to a storage container (well ventilated, smooth sided tub). Discard newspaper from shipment. Place container in the refrigerator, mealworms can be stored for 4-8 weeks refrigerated. Remove mealworms from the fridge every 7 to 10 days then feed Mealworm Keeper and a small piece of raw vegetable (carrot or potato). After 24 hours, remove uneaten food and place mealworms back in the refrigerator. If breeding, see our Mealworm Breeder Kit or Instructions on Raising Mealworms.

*LIVE ARRIVAL GUARANTEE:Live mealworm typically ship via USPS Priority Mail service, but may also ship via FedEx. If the temperature at the delivery location is above 85 degrees F. or below 32 degrees F, we suggest that you select Next Day Service shipping. If any other shipping method besides Next Day Service is used, the customer assumes responsibility for the arrival condition of the mealworms.

The second most reliable shipping method is Expedited shipping. It is not recommended to ship live mealworms by Economy or Standard Ground services. Mealworms must be shipped to a location where they can be received and cared-for upon delivery. We do not guarantee live delivery if mealworms are left outside or delivered to a street mail box.

Orders shipped by Next Day Service with morning delivery that are received upon delivery are warranted under our guarantee. If mealworms do not arrive alive (D.O.A.), the customer is responsible for filing a replacement claim (by phone or email) within 24 hours of delivery time. We cannot make exceptions to this policy.

View our full Shipping Policy to calculate when your order will be delivered with each shipping method. Shipping times are calculated by business days, and the day the package leaves our facilities is not counted in the delivery time.

Note: mealworms are not invidually counted for each order, based on weight not count.

Great product, comes in a cloth bag and is kind of cumbersome to get them out, but will continue to purchase because of the quality! -Sara N.

I love these just the right size for my bird. They arrived in great shape. Will be ordering a lot more of these.

Nearly all came live, except a few! (naturally) I was so excited when they came in, and when i got to feed the first few to my Leo. She was quite excited too, since she hadn't eaten in a few days. She's not the one to barge herself on worms, and she knows when to stop and when she's hungry again. Her eyes and senses lit up when I dropped them in there! All were a really good size, and I'm planning on breeding them!

They are alive and edible. Kind of small in size but my pets ate them!

I buy for my turtles and they suck them down. They come all alive every time so far.

I did not expect these to come in a sack when I ordered them the first time. It was a rather large one that was tied off with the mealworms and newspaper inside. Either way, they definitely were lively and crawling around because my sugar glider had to chase an escapee.
DEFINITELY BUYING AGAIN! Arrived a day earlier, ice pack included, intact. If some of them were dead, the recipient of these mealies is unphased, and that's all that matters to me. Thank you, Exotic Nutrition!

The mealworms were smaller than I expected.

My son's leopard gecko loves these mealworms. The mealworms arrived two days late because Fedex delivered the package to a wrong address, but despite the shipping delay, and due to the care with which they were packed, they arrived safely, and we all healthy and active.
